Alan Shearer has hit out at the prospect of Craig Bellamy making a Newcastle return.
Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer has hit out at the prospect of Craig Bellamy making a surprise Magpies return.Bellamy, who spent four years with Newcastle between 2001 and 2005, has been linked with a St James' return following Sam Allardyce's appointment.
However, Shearer, despite playing some of his best football alongside the Welsh flyer, believes Bellamy's off-field problems are not worth the hassle.
"Has no-one learnt their lesson about signing Craig Bellamy?" said Shearer.
"If only Rafa Benitez had rung me I would have told him exactly what he was like. I hope there isn't anything in (the Newcastle reports).
"I was having a few days away in France with Gary Speed and Steve Harper and the wives and I picked up the newspaper. I was having a fantastic day.
"But when I read Bellamy for Newcastle I thought I would definitely have to have another drink. I had several."
